Rare Quackery Ideal Sight Restorer In The Original Box! American

IDEAL SIGHT RESTORER IN THE ORIGINAL BOX! SCARCE IN THE ORIGINAL BOX! WITH ORIGINAL RED SATIN LINING 110 mm SQUARE. CONSISTS OF A RUBBER BALL WITH LETTERING AND 2 TUBES TO PLACE OVER THE CLOSED THE EYES. Made by the Ideal Company, this unusual device - an eye massager - promised to cure imperfect vision and eye diseases such as cataracts which cause blindness.

The rubber cups are placed on closed eyelids and the rubber circle in the middle squeezed. This produced suction every time the circle was pressed, creating a massaging effect.

It was invented by Charles A Tyrrell who owned The Ideal Company. Tyrrell was a masseur who qualified as a doctor in 1900. He was condemned by the medical establishment as a quack and a fake for producing products with dubious medical credentials such as the Ideal Sight Restorer.
